    Hello Graillotion, thank you for your precious information.So a carrier oil can be comedogenic but when you apply it in a low concentration then its no longer comedogenic? Also should the concentration always be 5%? But since im formulating a cleansing oil, it cant be 5%, it should be more so in that case the comedogenity wont disapear? And what about the Isopropyl palmitate, i found this highly comedogenic which is the Bobbi Brown oil might have caused breakout. 

    Hello MarkBroussard, thanks for your valuable feedback:) Super helpful as well. Someone in this conversation thread here mentioned that Polysorbate 80 is not irritating while countless articles online mentioned otherwise. What 2 other oils Mark would you recommend that could be used to craft a compelling marketing story. By the way im targeting women aged 28-38 who wear makeup, work in offices, travel, have an active social life. 

    Thank you all for your help in the matter:)

    Hello MarkBroussard.Thank you so much for your response as well. I actually did an extensive research and studied cleansing oils such as DHC cleansing oil, Josie Maran cleansing oil, Bobby Brown to name a few and saw where people complain the most. For instance the bobbi brown one irritates the eyes, so this begs the question: is a cleansing oil suitable to remove eye makeup? the idea is that i want to make a cleansing oil for the entire face so people save money, they wont need to purchase an oil for the lips, one for the face and one for the eyes area but i don’t know if this is possible? Also the bobbi brown cleansing oil features Isopropyl Palmitate which has a comedogenic rating of 3/4 so this is a no no:) So my idea is to come up with a cleansing oil that: removes debris, spf, makeup fast, /doesn’t leave a greasy film on the skin/ moisturizes/cleanses  without irritating the skin/ non comedogenic. 

    Also do you think that Glyceryl Behenate/Eicosadioate is necessary? it increases the viscosity and Boscia cleansing oil features this ingredient and people rave about the Boscia Oil. 

    Last question, what do you think about these emuslfiers for sensitive skins” : Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate and Polysorbate 80? 

    Thank you very much

    There are multiple types of facial cleansers such  gel cleansers, micellar water, cream cleansers, cleansing balm,foam cleansers, clay cleansers.
    What problems do cleansing oils solve for makeup wearers that other cleansers dont solve? 
    How can i set myself apart when promoting my cleansing oil to people who wear makeup? 
    Thank you all:)

    Hello everyone.I apologise for my late reply. 
    To answer you ngarayeva001, i did some extensive research and found that Polysorbate 80 is irritating and thus since im targeting women who wear makeup aged 30-40, this information made me tell myself: ok dont use polysorbate 80 at all! I asked the manufacturing to use Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate. Is it okay if i mix it with the Polysorbate 80 for sensisive skin?
     
    Also can it be used to remeove eye makeup such as eye shadow, mascara, and lipsttock/lip gloss? 

    How many emulsifiers can we mix in one formula? 

    Thank you Ketchito for your feedback.It also helped especially when you said 10 oils are too much !How many oils can i put in my formula? So 10 is too much :) How about 5 ? What can i do to make it a special/unique oil or formula?

    Thank you for your support and insights:)
